What is Zombie Horde: Build and Survive?

This is a 2D wave-defense survival game in the strategy category. Between waves you build and upgrade your defenses; during waves you fight off the incoming zombies with guns and other weapons. The loop is straightforward: survive one wave, reinforce, then face a harder wave. The challenge scales as more zombies arrive and the horde grows more difficult to hold back.

Defense and weapons

Building is what separates a long run from a short one. Walls and barriers slow the horde and funnel them into kill zones where your guns do more work. The game falls in the defense and gun tags, so there is a real choice each round: invest resources in stronger walls or better firepower.
